A customer decided to give me over 200 floppy disks. Over half have data and about 80 brand new still in their shrink wrap which is super cool.

Gonna need to get a usb floppy drive to see if any have data that isn’t archived yet, I doubt it but never hurts to check!!

Anyone know #fortran? #retrocompting
A photo of a vintage 1970s-style mini computer system on display in a museum. The setup includes two tall metal cabinets. The left cabinet houses various components such as switches, circuit boards, and a control panel with orange toggle switches and indicator lights. A sign at the top describes it as a "Mini Computer System – 1970s style," noting its use in atomic research. The right cabinet contains large reel-to-reel magnetic tape drives used for data storage, with visible cables and connectors at the bottom. Both units represent early computing technology.

I was looking for information on how to open a #Sony #MPF52A floppy drive for my #VintageApple #PowerMac 7100/80.

Couldn’t find any.

So I made a short video of me fumbling around trying to open my drive so you don't have to.

I recently hacked #Elite on the #Acorn #Archimedes to send scores to a live scoreboard across an #Econet network.

I've just published a short article that explains how I did this.

I hope you like it!
